Chapter 24: Can’t Let the Sacred Land Know
After returning Li Xiaojun, He Qingqing quickly found her teacher, Liu Ruoge!
"Teacher, Hanhai Xianzong sent over a woman with earth spirit roots, and she has given birth to a child with an Immortal spirit root…" He Qingqing said hurriedly upon seeing Liu Ruoge.
"What? Immortal spirit root?"
Upon hearing "Immortal spirit root," Liu Ruoge immediately became unsettled.
An Immortal spirit root! It is an Immortal spirit root!
In the cultivation world, it is rare to find one in a million years!
As long as it does not perish early, it will definitely become an immortal!
In the cultivation world, a great emperor appears roughly every hundred thousand years, while an immortal emerges only once every million years!
"Are you sure?" Liu Ruoge asked He Qingqing seriously.
"This is what junior sister’s father told me. He said the consumption this time is too great, and he can’t recover without a hundred thousand spirit stones," He Qingqing replied to Liu Ruoge.
"I understand. Come with me to see the Sect Master. You need to explain this matter in person," Liu Ruoge told He Qingqing.
Soon, Liu Ruoge took He Qingqing to the Sect Master’s cave at Bixiao Peak.
"Junior sister Ruoge, did you need something?" Luo Changqi asked Liu Ruoge.
"Senior brother Luo, something big has happened. Hanhai Xianzong sent over a woman with earth spirit roots, and she has given birth to a child with an Immortal spirit root," Liu Ruoge explained to Luo Changqi.
"What? Immortal spirit root? Are you sure?"
"This is what my disciple told me!" Liu Ruoge looked at He Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, you explain to the Sect Master."
"Sect Master, it’s like this…"
Next, He Qingqing recounted everything that had happened earlier.
"Hanhai Xianzong, earth spirit roots? Does Hanhai Xianzong even have female cultivators with earth spirit roots?" Luo Changqi asked, somewhat skeptically.
"This is what junior sister’s father personally told me. He said she is indeed an earth spirit root, and the child will definitely be an Immortal spirit root," He Qingqing insisted.
"This, now this is a big problem."
An Immortal spirit root!
Luo Changqi never expected Hanhai Xianzong would have an Immortal spirit root child.
In Biyun Xianzong, the best talent they could hope for in a child was merely Yin spirit roots, which are two major grades lower than Immortal spirit roots.
Moreover, Biyun Xianzong does not even have a female cultivator with earth spirit roots to bear an Immortal spirit root child with Li Xiaojun.
Under such circumstances, in just a few years, Biyun Xianzong would be surpassed by Hanhai Xianzong; just thinking about it was terrifying.
"Sect Master, what should we do now?" Liu Ruoge asked Luo Changqi.
Hearing Liu Ruoge’s words, Luo Changqi looked at He Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, you go outside first. I need to speak with your teacher."
"Alright!" He Qingqing agreed and quickly left.
"Senior brother, what do you want to discuss with me?" Liu Ruoge asked Luo Changqi.
"Qingqing, among the female cultivators in our Biyun Xianzong, you are the one with the best spirit root talent, right?"
Hearing Luo Changqi’s words, Liu Ruoge immediately understood his meaning, and her expression changed, showing her dissatisfaction.
"Senior brother, I know what you want to say, but that’s impossible," Liu Ruoge directly shook her head in refusal.
For the family and the sect, she could let her disciple have a relationship with Li Xiaojun to have children, but she herself could not accept that.
Firstly, Li Xiaojun is the father of her junior disciple.
Additionally, Li Xiaojun had a relationship with her disciple He Qingqing and they even had a child together.
Now asking her to have a relationship with Li Xiaojun was something she could not accept.
"Junior sister, other Immortal Gates already have children with Yang spirit roots, and Hanhai Xianzong even has children with Immortal spirit roots. If our Biyun Xianzong doesn’t have any, do you know what our situation will be like a thousand years from now?" Luo Changqi asked Liu Ruoge.
"This… how would I know?" Liu Ruoge evaded the question.
Of course she knew that while others had disciples with the potential of great emperors, or even potential to become an immortal, Biyun Xianzong would definitely be suppressed.
If she thought in extreme terms, they might not even exist by then, facing the potential shutdown of their legacy.
"Junior sister, it’s a pity I’m not a woman. If I were, I would definitely want a child with an Immortal spirit root…" Luo Changqi said with a sigh.
"Senior brother, there’s no need to say more about this. I will not agree to it. Li Xiaojun is still young, and if we find a top-grade spirit root female disciple in just a few decades, we can have disciples with Yang spirit roots," Liu Ruoge told Luo Changqi.
Upon hearing Liu Ruoge’s words, Luo Changqi shook his head.
"Junior sister, human plans can’t match up to heaven’s plans. Who knows if Li Xiaojun will still be around when we finally find a top-grade spirit root female disciple?"
"Now news about Li Xiaojun is known by more than just our Immortal Gate. I’m afraid this matter will soon be noticed by the Sacred Land."
"If the Sacred Land finds out about Li Xiaojun’s situation, none of us will be able to protect him. By then, trying to have children with the potential of great emperors will be too late," Luo Changqi said to Liu Ruoge.
Hearing Luo Changqi’s words, Liu Ruoge fell into thought, remaining silent for a long time.
If the news was indeed known by the Sacred Land, there would be no doubt they would forcibly seize Li Xiaojun.
The Sacred Land is an Immortal Gate that possesses saints, and a single saint can easily eliminate a sect like Biyun Xianzong with just a little effort.
Therefore, if the Sacred Land learned about Li Xiaojun, then it would be impossible to protect him.
"Senior brother, let me think about this!" Liu Ruoge told Luo Changqi.
"Alright, consider it," Luo Changqi nodded.
Liu Ruoge saying she needed to think about it was, in his opinion, almost like it had been set in stone.
After Liu Ruoge left, Luo Changqi pondered for a moment, then called for his disciple and instructed him to contact the leaders of the five major Immortal Sects.
He planned to negotiate the matter of confidentiality with the five major Immortal Sects once again.
Although the other Immortal Sects had previously agreed not to leak a word, Luo Changqi still felt uneasy.
In the past, whenever a disciple with Yin spirit roots was discovered by the Sacred Land, they would be forcibly taken to the Sacred Land for cultivation.
Furthermore, now they had an Immortal spirit root.
If the Sacred Land knew that Hanhai Xianzong had an Immortal spirit root, they would surely make a move to seize it.
If Hanhai Xianzong dared to resist, their fate would be completely annihilated.
Thus, under such circumstances, Luo Changqi needed to discuss this with the other Immortal Sects again; the news must not be leaked.
Even some people within Biyun Xianzong, apart from the sect elders, would need to be silenced.
This was related to the survival of the major families and could not be taken lightly.
Previously, they had been too careless, causing too many top-grade spirit roots from major families to be noticed by the Immortal Sects.
Such a situation must not occur again in the future.
Upon receiving Luo Changqi’s notification, the leaders of the five major Immortal Sects quickly and quietly arrived at Biyun Sect.
Then, together with the leaders of Biyun Xianzong, a total of six sect leaders held meetings for three days before leaving.
